Extractions: Rheumatologists Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is a form of arthritis in children ages 15 or younger that causes inflammation and stiffness of joints for more than six weeks. Unlike adult rheumatoid arthritis, which is chronic and lasts a lifetime, children often outgrow juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. However, the disease can affect bone development in the growing child. The disease can be classified into three categories based on the number of and which joints are involved, the symptoms present and their duration, and the presence of specific antibodies produced by the immune system. These three variables often help physicians determine the progression of JRA and include the following: pauciarticular Nearly 50 percent of children with JRA are affected by this type of the disease, which affects five or more joints. Polyarticular disease is more serious and tends to affect the small joints, such as the hands and feet, and often on both sides of the body. This type of JRA affects girls more often than boys.

Extractions: Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, or JRA, is a diffuse connective tissue disease that occurs in children through age 15. Its effects on joints may disturb growth, and JRA can include symptoms involving tendons, organs such as the kidneys and eyes, and other manifestations as well. JRA is a common connective tissue disease in children and may affect as many as 500,000 or more patients in the United States. It is often difficult to differentiate JRA from other rheumatic conditions in children, and a diagnosis of JRA is often made only after ruling out other possible disorders. Researchers believe that these four disorders may result from infection by HIAP and that individual genetic factors such as HLA haplotype may help to determine the specific symptoms which are experienced by the infected person. Support for the possibility that HIAP infection is in fact the cause of these four disorders is provided by a study by Steinfeld et al Several patents cover HIAP in the U.S. and other countries. Autoimmune Technologies has licensed the HIAP technology from Tulane University in order to develop diagnostic tests and therapies for JRA and the other disorders.

Having two siblings who both have JRA in one family is rare. The purpose of this registry is to collect patient information and blood samples from qualifying JRA siblings and their families. The goal of the registry is to further understanding of JRA as related to genetics. Condition Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis JRA is the most common chronic inflammatory pediatric rheumatic disease. JRA may be related to a complex genetic trait. It is rare to have two or more affected siblings, or sibpairs, within one family. The JRA ASP (Affected Sibpair) Registry is a nationwide effort and will collect information and blood samples from JRA sibpairs and their families. Unaffected family members (e.g., mother, father, and unaffected children) are also invited to participate.

National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases What Are Researchers Trying To Learn About Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis? Scientists are investigating the possible causes of JRA. Researchers suspect that both genetic and environmental factors are involved in development of the disease and they are studying these factors in detail. To help explore the role of genetics, the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) has established a research registry for families in which two or more siblings have JRA. NIAMS also funds a Multipurpose Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases Center (MAMDC) that specializes in research on pediatric rheumatic diseases including JRA.
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis: Treatments
Doctors recommend treatments to reduce swelling; maintain full movement in theaffected joints; relieve pain; and identify, treat, and prevent complications
http://www.spineuniverse.com/displayarticle.php/article160.html

Extractions: JRA is an autoimmune disorder, which means that the body mistakenly identifies some of its own cells and tissues as foreign. The immune system, which normally helps to fight off harmful, foreign substances such as bacteria or viruses, begins to attack healthy cells and tissues. The result is inflammation-marked by redness, heat, pain, and swelling. Doctors do not know why the immune system goes awry in children who develop JRA. Scientists suspect that it is a two-step process. First something in a child's genetic makeup gives them a tendency to develop JRA; and then an environmental factor, such as a virus, triggers the development of JRA.

Extractions: JUVENILE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is a chronic condition that causes joint swelling and stiffness for more than six consecutive weeks in a child 16 years of age or less. About 285,000 children in the United States have juvenile arthritis, and about 100,000 have juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. There are three types of JRA: The cause of JRA is unknown. It is a disease in which the immune system begins to attack healthy cells and tissues. It is possible that the child's genetic makeup contributes to a tendency for developing JRA, and then an environmental factor (such as an infection or virus) triggers the onset of JRA. Children can develop JRA as early as infancy, but it occurs most frequently in the toddler to teen years. Girls develop JRA more frequently than boys. There is no single test that can be used to diagnose JRA. A doctor diagnoses JRA by examining the child and considering the child's medical history. Doctors usually suspect JRA, along with other possible conditions, when they see a child with persistent pain or joint swelling, unexplained rashes and fever, swelling of the lymph nodes or inflammation of internal organs. Blood tests can be used to rule out other causes. HOW IS IT TREATED?

Juvenile arthritis is a condition associated with low adherence to treatment. This small randomised trial investigated the effect if a combined educational and behavioural intervention. Children between 2 and 16 years diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis within the past year and on stable NSAID therapy for at least one month were studied.Experimental group participants received educational and behavioural strategies for enhancing adherence. There was a 10-minute film, and a booklet. The study nurse reviewed and rehearsed strategies with children and parents. Control patients received a general educational programme about juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Randomisation to study or control group was with age stratification. An electronic monitoring system recorded date and time of each bottle opening. This was used for patients primary NSAID, with most prescribed one NSAID with twice-daily dosing.

Extractions: Main Diseases and Conditions Questions and Answers About Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis Arthritis means "joint inflammation" and refers to a group of diseases that cause pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of motion in the joints. "Arthritis" is often used as a more general term to refer to the more than 100 rheumatic diseases that may affect the joints but can also cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in other supporting structures of the body such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. Some rheumatic diseases can affect other parts of the body, including various internal organs. Children can develop almost all types of arthritis that affect adults, but the most common type that affects children is juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA).
